Holy shit, I never ever thought I would see a headline in the MSM like this:

How to give the gift of bitcoin this holiday season
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/10/how-to-give-bitcoin-as-a-gift.html

Cool

HAH! I tried to give away bitcoin back in Christmas 2013. I offered their choice, 0.1 bitcoin, 2 ounce silver (canadian mint wildlife series) or 50 bucks CAD. (*gifts of Christmas past, present, and future*)

no one took the bitcoin, no one took the silver, everyone took the cash.

you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

Haha, yeah no doubt. The horses don't even know what silver is worth...

this accentuates the problem with gold and silver. if some guy on the street tries to sell me silver I want it to be assayed. even gold bars direct from the Canadian mint are now found to be counterfeit... At least with bitcoin you can be assured of the quality and quantity of the trade.
